Indiana Fever’s dynamo Caitlin Clark, renowned for her three-point rain dances and no-look passes, isn’t crying over spilled milk—or more precisely, an Olympic snub. While playing in the Olympics would have been “cool,” Clark insists she’s not “bummed” about not making Team USA. Oh no, this queen of the court has bigger fish to fry and is already plotting her grand entrance at the 2028 Olympics.
“I think it just gives you something to work for and something to achieve,” Clark shared in a recent chat with Iowa’s own Keith Murphy, probably while casually sinking half-court shots and pondering world domination.
“It’s a four-year process of being able to get prepared for them. I think, hopefully, that’s my goal to be there in the next four years. It just gives you something to work hard for.”

And here’s the cherry on top of this ambitious sundae: the next Summer Games will be held in Los Angeles. Yes, you read that right. Caitlin Clark is eyeing a golden showdown on home turf, where the crowd will cheer louder than a Taylor Swift concert. Assuming, of course, that she gets the golden ticket to join the national team in 2028. But let’s be honest, if she keeps torching the nets and breaking ankles, it’s not an “if” but a “when.”
Clark, ever the goal-setter and hoop-dreamer, is hell-bent on making sure this time her name is on that elite roster. She’s been overlooked once, and trust me, she’s not about to let that happen again. Armed with a killer crossover and the determination of a thousand warriors, Caitlin Clark is ready to turn her Olympic dream into a reality.
So, buckle up, Los Angeles. Caitlin Clark is on a mission to bring home the gold—and maybe drop a mic or two while she’s at it.
